[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 217757, member: 1233"] I am sorry he is sick, but SO glad he saw a good doctor who found the problems. AND that you got a note for school. As for the computer, put a password on it. He may hack around it, but it will give you some sense of security until you can address teh issue with him. Or just unplug the keyboard and hide it in your room. I used to do that to my husband when he would go overboard on the computer usage. PLEASE be very careful with the asthma medications. Albuterol and Xopenex are rescue medications - fast acting medications to rapidly dialate bronchial tubes. Advair is NOT a rescue medication, it is a preventative medication that contains 2 types of preventatives. It takes time to work and is NOT to be used for wheezing or coughing type problems except to prevent them. Same for Flovent - it is NOT a rescue medication but is a preventative medication. Many people with these problems use preventatives AND rescue medications. Our doctor used what she calls teh "Rule of 2" for determining if a preventative is needed. If the patient uses a rescue medication more than 2 times a day, more than 2 days a week, more than 2 weeks a month then a preventative is needed. I HAVE seen warnings about long-term usage of advair. It contains 2 different types of asthma medications. The warnings say that you should try the other preventatives FIRST and only go to advair if the other medications do not control the symptoms. I have an appointment to get thank you seen to discuss this with his doctor as the doctor who rx'd the advair is NOT our normal doctor and he blows off moms more than I like. OH - with ANY asthma medication have him either gargle or take a drink of anything right after use. The medications can have an effect on the vocal cords. Advair is the worst for this, but any of them can do it. I am sorry he is sick, but glad there is a reason for some of his behavior. [/QUOTE]
